Clay

Molded and shaped

Rounded

Ridged

And Smoothed

Stretched

Pinched

Pulled

Slapped

Punched

And Layered

Fingers palpating

Formless lump

Becoming structured

Evolving

Surface changed

To unique creation

(Like no other in the universe)

Baked in the kiln

By hellish fire

Emerging

Hardened

Glazed

Useful and Beautiful
